500 years of Hispanic culture and business in Florida

A few years ago the Spaniard noticed the existence of land in the northwestern part of Hispaniola and Puerto Rico and in 1513 Juan Ponce de Leon departed from Puerto Rico and named Florida. The map in 1511 shows that part of Florida is labeled "Isla de Beimeni". According to Robert H. Fuson, emeritus professor at the University of South Florida of his book "Juan Poncede León", and the phrase "in Spanish" was found in Puerto Rico and Florida. "According to Füssen's survey, it is shown that other Spanish ships first arrived in Florida - perhaps an informal slave adventure.

"Because Juan Ponce de León is his crop, he may have been a victim of his era, he not only the Europeans who are related to the Indians, but also the Indians are harsh and cruel Relationship Indians and Europeans who are related to Europeans "- Robert H. Fussen, Emeritus Professor, University of South Florida; author" Juan Poncede Leon: And the discovery of Spain in Puerto Rico and Florida "

It is hardly mentioned at the moment, but as Fussen wrote, Ponce de Leon "is not a madman seeking a mysterious fountain" to keep him young. Instead, he was the provisional governor of Puerto Rico, and was an explorer and farmer who left behind Juan Ponce until the lawsuit had taken control of the island to Christopher Columbus, the son of Diego

Fussen said that when Ferdinand II allowed Juan Ponce to explore and rule Bemey, there are two strategic advantages. It gave the opportunity for Juan Ponce to start again and made it possible for Ferdinand to restrict Columbus's son's power Juan Ponce sailed to Florida twice - where in 1513, between Saint Augustine and Melbourne Beach Crab landed, and in 1521 he founded a colony near Port Charlotte in four months, this is the first European colony in the United States.

In the fight against the Kalusa Indians, Juan Ponce suffered from arrows. The colonizer departed to Havana where he died of an injured infection.

So, its components - political conspiracy, financial ambition, violence and racial confrontation - that began 500 years ago - are still common today in Florida.

In the process, the influence of Spain gradually weakened, today it reflects erroneous legends in Leon, Hernando and other places and sightseeing spots.

Recently, Cubans, now Puerto Ricans, and Latin America and Americans are the most dynamic Hispanic elements of state, population, finance and politics.

This month the Florida Trend Report explored the scope of our state's Hispanic heritage from the descendants of the state's oldest Spanish settlers to the ignored part of the state's history, and in the early 1700's the missionary culture of northern Florida We are leading. For today's state's large-scale Hispanic population, Hispanic American businessman at Fort Lauderdale established the largest Latin American business in the United States.

The influence of Hispanic in Florida dates back more than 500 years ago before the arrival of the Spaniards and the construction of a permanent village. I am proud to say that I am Hispanic. As a second generation of Cuban American and Florida, it is important to learn and convey my Hispanic, cultural and traditional unique qualities and abundance. From the very beginning of my birth, Hispanic tradition has had a great impact on me. Growing up in a bilingual family and learning Spanish in school gives me the advantage of two language exchange. Hispanics can become socialized and learn about Florida's English and Spanish communities. Hispanics can also share my language with non - Hispanic ancestors. I think that you will benefit from bilingualism when you are familiar with universities and living.
